Yeah. I've been watching for so long that I realise that he probably doesn't have many left so I like it when he ekes one out. :unsmith:

It seems like sliding around wouldn't do you any favors in terms of tire management. Maybe it's faster on a per corner basis but slower in a total race time basis.

Gary McCoy says hi.

It keeps raining/not raining, no one is having fun.

Even if it was dry it would be chaos with all the tyre shenanigans this weekend

Either way both the factory Yamahas are going to be poo poo in the race unless it's completely dry and someone pulls a rabbit out of a hat.

If you have a motogp.com account you can watch Jorge Martin get flicked off his bike:

Also if it goes from wet to dry they'll have to change from "Good chassis" to "bad chassis" mid race. Oh and also, Maverick and Rossi disagree on what is the good and bad chassis because lol.

This weekend MotoGP is at Silverstone. Go listen to the British announcers gush about how important this race is on the calendar, and how great it is that all those Brits are racers, and how those Brits are great racers.

Should still be at Donnington imo.

Even though, I believe that's Donnington's choice not MotoGP's.

MotoGP has announced their 2018 calendar. The order and races are all the same, but with two major differences: the Thai GP following Aragon and ahead of Japan, Australia and Malaysia; and "Circuit to be announced" next to the British GP on the calendar.

Any takers on odds it'll go back to Donington Park?

My understanding is that both Silverstone and Donington Park's owners hate MotoGP(?) and because Circuit of Wales isn't ready its literally up to Silverstone as to whether they hold a GP and if they don't then Donington can, if they want.

edit: for clarification, the BSB people own Donington and think "why pay Dorna money when we have ~British Superbikes~". I don't know what Silverstone's beef is, but it's pretty loving clear considering they have the option to hold the race and haven't taken it up yet.

I actually don't mind either, they're certainly streets ahead of the Sky and ITV Formula 1 crews and less "it's super early in the morning and we're punchy" than the Speed F1 crew, they're knowledgeable and enthusiastic and it definitely shows. But yeah Dylan is a smart happy puppy.

They're not as good as Ryder and Co from the golden era, but I never minded them. As they said, better than most other sports.

Yeah honestly I've been pretty impressed with how Jorge has done this year. He's spent a lot more time in the lead than I expected, even if he hasn't turned it into wins. The progress is happening. And he can fight when he's got the bike for it. He'll get a win in '18 even if he's not a championship contender.


I love when you see them really having fun. When Marc and Rossi were scrapping in Marc's first season or two in GP was some of the best.

Really separates the champions from the Setes of of the world.

Or he chokes with the title in the bag like how rossi, a far less prolific crasher, did that one time.

Man that was an amazing / strange season. Dovi taking out Hayden the race before, and then Rossi crashing out on a low speed turn.
